Announcing more Open Source Peer Bonus winners

Tuesday, October 3, 2017

We’re excited to announce 2017’s second round of Open Source Peer Bonus winners. Google Open Source established this program six years ago to encourage Googlers to recognize and celebrate external contributors to the open source ecosystem Google depends on.

The Open Source Peer Bonus program works like this: Googlers nominate open source contributors outside of the company who deserve recognition for their contributions to open source projects, including those used by Google. Nominees are reviewed by a volunteer team of engineers and the winners receive our heartfelt thanks and a small token of our appreciation.

To date, we’ve recognized nearly 600 open source contributors from dozens of countries who have contributed their time and talent to more than 400 open source projects. You can find past winners in recent blog posts: Fall 2016, Spring 2017.

Without further ado, we’d like to recognize the latest round of winners and the projects they worked on. Here are the individuals who gave us permission to thank them publicly:
